Wolfgang Tillmans

Galerie Chantal Crousel, Paris

Composed of unframed inkjet prints on paper and other smaller works. Known in the early 1990s for his seemingly casual images of the world he inhabited, his work reassessed photographic conventions and reflected the culture and identity politics of the time, capturing the fragility of human life and focusing on everyday objects.


comunicato stampa

Chantal Crousel presents the second solo show by Wolfgang Tillmans at the gallery. Each solo exhibition by Wolfgang Tillmans is a complete universe. It reflects his world, here and now. The exhibition will be mainly composed of unframed inkjet prints on paper and other smaller works.

Over the past 20 years, Tillmans has redefined photography and the way it is presented. Known in the early 1990s for his seemingly casual images of the world he inhabited, his work reassessed photographic conventions and reflected the culture and identity politics of the time, capturing the fragility of human life and focusing on everyday objects. His work has always engaged with portraiture, landscape, and still life, but more recently Tillmans has turned to a deeper exploration of abstraction, and has pushed the boundaries and definitions of the photographic form.

Tillmans was born in 1968 in Remscheid, Germany. In 1995, his work was exhibited in the Serpentine Gallery exhibition Take Me (I’m Yours), curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, and in 2000 he won the Turner Prize. His most recent solo exhibitions include Freedom from the Known at P.S.1, New York in 2006 (which toured North America), and Lighter at the Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin in 2008. In 2009 he was included in Making Worlds at the 53rd Venice Biennale. Tillmans lives and works in London.
